“I had the privilege of working under Jon's leadership during my tenure as Digital Economy Manager at Innovate UK's Knowledge Transfer Network. My admiration for Jon's prior achievements at Nesta was a significant factor in my decision to join the team. As my direct supervisor, Jon was exceptionally supportive, consistently providing opportunities for my development and growth. He had a knack for asking insightful questions that helped us untangle and refine the complex strategies we were involved in. Jon's passion for innovation across the sectors, combined with his profound business acumen, ensured his leadership was not only grounded, but also incredibly effective. We've kept in touch since and I continue to benefit from Jon's support and insights. Thank you Jon!”
